A Unique Turn-Based RPG Combat System
Every turn in Crown Control is built around cards, positioning, and party roles. Battles play out on an isometric grid where movement and range matter, and even the biggest enemies can occupy multiple cells.
You begin with 9 heroes, each with a unique class: Knight, Archer, Thief, White Mage, Priestess of Light, Puppeteer, Arcanist, Blue Mage, and Blood Disciple. You can unlock 12 more heroes and their unique classes as you progress.
Each hero also has a Hero Ability available once per turn, and Ultimates once per chapter that can swing an entire fight. New cards, relics, and upgrades earned during the run keep reshaping your build from one battle to the next.
Cards come in 8 types:
- Attacks can deal damage directly, across an area, through multiple hits, or over time.
- Skills and Powers cover defense, healing, buffs, debuffs, cleansing, lasting effects, deck management, movement and crowd control.
- Summons place fully playable units on the battlefield.
- Traps stay hidden until they trigger.
- Terrain reshapes part or all of the battlefield.
- Afflictions and Curses are dealt to heroes by vicious opponents and events, disrupting battles and lingering across the run.
A Kingdom of Peril
Every run unfolds across 5 chapters of 5 acts each. Each act ends with an Epic-rank monster, and each chapter culminates in a regional boss. You can leave after Act 3 with your rewards, or push deeper into Acts 4 and 5 for harder fights, rarer relics and unique rewards. Your route is filled with battles, events, quests, merchants, rest sites, chests, elites, secrets, and bosses.
During events, the chances of each choice are displayed and can be affected by your hero's order and morality alignments, depending on the nature of the event:
- order can be chaotic, neutral, or lawful
- morality can be bad, neutral, or good
During battles, face 50+ enemy types with distinct behaviors, ranges, afflictions, strengths, weaknesses, and battlefield roles. Victories and encounters feed your run with XP, card rewards, relics, equipment, potions, and gold, while leveling up strengthens Hero Abilities, grows specializations, and unlocks or upgrades Ultimates.
Return to the Breach
The Breach is your home between runs. Equip weapons, armor and accessories earned through previous achievements, choose hero, role, or regional quests, and prepare for the next expedition.
Player progression and class progression keep expanding your options between runs:
- Gain souls to strengthen permanent bonuses, level up each class to unlock new cards and stronger card archetypes.
- Use shards and card fragments to improve, craft and decraft cards.
- Hero quests, role quests, regional quests, achievements, and hidden secrets unlock cards, relics and equipment for future runs.
